Melissa Castro

Coral Gables City Commissioner

[Elaine de Valle @newschica]

Thank you State Rep. @DebraForHouse Tendrich and @AlexisMCalatayu for this no-brainer legislation. #domesticviolence #flapol https://t.co/BqWZK3T1mm

[Elaine de Valle @newschica]

He has all this free time because he has no job so @Vince_Lago can spend his days smearing and harassing his nemesis, @CommissMelissa all the way to #Tallahassee @FLCities https://t.co/pXVu5nVQpM

[Elaine de Valle @newschica]

Meanwhile, in #CoralGables, someone intentionally edited the commission meeting video to take out ⁦@Vince_Lago⁩ increasingly disruptive outbursts. I love ⁦@miaminewtimes⁩ ⁦@naomifeinstein⁩ https://t.co/rFiNvklCf1

Honored to be appointed Vice Chair of the Florida League of Cities’ Development, Code Compliance & Redevelopment Committee. Excited to represent Coral Gables & work with leaders statewide to strengthen cities, promote smart growth, and build thriving communities #FLC #CoralGables

[Elaine de Valle @newschica]

The other electeds in #CoralGables totally underestimate @CommissMelissa Castro. But treating her badly is showing the residents who they really are. @Vince_Lago @RAndersonCGabls https://t.co/WGqNE3y2Hd

TIME TO GET LOUD MAGA 🔥

“Too rich for my blood”? Coral Gables still lags behind. 40 police vacancies last year → 17 today. Progress, yes. But our officers earn tens of thousands less. #FactsMatter

@consulcolmia @incolballet Felicitaciones!

In #CoralGables, city @CommissMelissa Castro tried to call a special meeting on the heels of the court ruling against #Miami on the election date change. But the other commissioners could not make themselves available. https://t.co/tyyqlrXHCX

[Elaine de Valle @newschica]

More reverberations from the #Miami 3rd DCA ruling on election change. #CoralGabes @CommissMelissa Castro has asked for a special meeting to repeal the City Beautiful's own election year change without a public vote. More later on #PoliticalCortadito

[Melissa Castro @CommissMelissa]

The court ruled: changing elections without voter approval is unconstitutional. Coral Gables is now out of compliance.

I took action. The majority blocked it.

At my own expense, I hired an election law expert. I’ve drafted the legislation. I’m not backing down. #ProtectTheVote

[Melissa Castro @CommissMelissa]

The Court has ruled: No changes to our elections or terms of office without voter approval! While some officials attempted to make these changes without your vote, I stood firmly for our residents' rights. The court has now affirmed that any such changes are unconstitutional.

[Jesse Scheckner @JesseScheckner]

Coral Gables commissioners have censured @CommissMelissa for seeking a legal opinion from @AGJamesUthmeier -- on the city's recent decision to reschedule elections without prior voter approval, like Miami did -- without first conferring with them.

Does the #Florida AG opinion on the #Miami election date move apply to #CoralGables? @CommissMelissa Castro thinks so. Tomorrow's meeting in i#CoralGables promises to be interesting. https://t.co/8EmUqr1ZVH
